Quark Model Calculations of the N to Delta Reaction

Nuclear Theory 2015-06-22 v1

Abstract

The electromagnetic excitation of the nucleon resonances is studied in the framework of Constituent Quark Models. Particular attention is devoted to the transition to the Δ\Delta resonance and to the issue of a possible deformation of hadronic systems, mainly in connection with the problem of the quadrupole excitation. The analysis of the emerging discrepancies between data and theoretical predictions is discussed and shown to lead to important conclusions concerning the internal dynamical structure of hadrons.
